If you are a beginner in the kitchen, too busy to cook, a new mom, a seasoned mom, or just flat out over-scheduled with too much on your plate… if you find yourself asking your husband “what do you want for dinner tonight?” EVERY night like we used to… insert: HOME CHEF!

We started using Home Chef when Bubs was about 6 months old. We had just launched Talulah and were running on empty with a baby and a new business and zero help. When David and I first got married, we were so excited to start using all of our wedding gifts: pots and pans and all of those kitchen gadget every newlywed registers for. But- we had no idea what we were doing! We signed up for about 4 different meal delivery services in the first year of our marriage to help make cooking easier. But none of them worked for us- one was just too fancy, one was way too complicated (the meals took hours), one was too pricey… you get it!

So we tried Home Chef because it met all of our needs and we had literally tried all of the others. Here are a few reasons Home Chef has worked the best for us:

  1. Price: most meals are less than $10 per serving. If you use my code for $100 off (HEYMADI100), they will be even less. When we plan our weekly grocery run (or delivery)- we are spending a fraction of what we were spending before Home Chef. We get the basics: fruit, breakfast and lunch foods, etc. We normally get some ground beef to use on one of the week nights we don’t cook Home Chef.

  2. Meal Variety: they have the MOST options out of any of the other meal delivery services we tried. They have up to 18 different meal options each week! You can also order according to your diet/vegetarian needs, 30 min or less meals, oven ready meals (no dish washing yassss), and even slow cooker meals (we made the BEST slow cooker pasta last week). We have an entire spiral binder full of our different home chef meal recipe cards!

  3. Easiness: we need something idiot proof and without a million complicated steps. I wanted to be able to whip up dinner in 30 minutes after a long day but still feel like I was cooking my husband a yummy home cooked meal. Home Chef meals come with easy step by step cards with photo visual how-to’s and tips. We have never messed one up- and that is huge for us!!! Every meal is packaged in a cute little bag and ALL of the ingredients are measured out to the perfect amount. Oh, and everything is always super fresh.

  4. Good Food + Good Portions: neither David or I are super fancy foodies. We like good ol’ home cooked meals, casseroles, meat + 3 type of meals. Home Chef meals are all so good, some of them have pushed us out of our comfort zone a little… but I have never been intimated by their meals! They’re not too complicated or “fancy”. And with an athlete, we needed meals that were actually going to fill him up! We order the 2-Servings for each meal and there is always plenty to fill both of our plates. Home Chef is hands down David’s favorite meal service for this reason!

So there you have it! These are the 4 reasons we really love Home Chef. If you have been waiting to try it, you can use my code HEYMADI100 to get $100 off!
